POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
explained in other sections of this document. The table below introduces the system and values used to track adjunct hours of service for KYSU Online.
| Quantity | Metric | Equivalent Quantity ahs | Formula |
|---|
| 1 | credit hour (cr) | 33.75 ahs | ahs = (cr × 2.25) × 15 semester weeks (semwk) |
| 1 | credit hour (cr) | 2.25 ahs/semwk | ahs/semwk = ahs / 15 semwk |
| 1 | credit hour (cr) | 4.5 ahs/subwk | ahs/subwk = ahs / 7.5 sub-term weeks (subwk) |
| 1 | faculty workday (fwd) | 10 ahs | ahs = fwd × 10 |
| 1 | faculty work hour (fwh) | 1 ahs | ahs = fwh × 1 |
The Office of Online Education works with the Registrar's Office to implement consistent section sizes for KYSU Online courses. Section sizes should support the effective delivery of online courses, which includes regular and substantive interaction.
Unless otherwise specified, KYSU Online sections will plan for the number of targeted seats in the table below at each degree program level.
| Course Level | Targeted Seats | Min seats full pay |
|---|
| UG | 24 | 12 |
| GR | 20 | 10 |
Although every effort will be made to ensure that online faculty are assigned course sections with adequate enrollment to justify full compensation at the standard rate, pro-rated pay for low-enrollment courses will be made according to the schedule in the table below. The minimum and maximum seats for undergraduate courses are on the left side of the table; the right side presents the minimum and maximum seats at the graduate level.
| Enrollment tier | UG min seats | UG max seats | % pay and WLU | $pay (3 cr / 6 WLU) | WLU | GR min seats | GR max seats |
